Product Description

▼▲

Sara Crewe is the daughter of a doting man who leaves her in Miss Minchin's Female Seminary in London. When he apparently dies penniless, Sara's privileged status changes overnight. Banished to the attic, she makes up stories for herself and the housemaid, Becky, keeping both their spirits up through her imagination. Pretending she's a soldier in a war, a prisoner in the Bastille, making friends with the rats, and eventually with the servant in the window across the alley, her fortunes are reversed when the kindly man next door takes a kindly interest in her.

Illustrated by Tasha Tudor with both full-color plates and pen-and-ink pictures, her illustrations bring the world of two little girls in 19th century London to life. 324 glossy pages, hardcover with dust jacket.

Sara Crewe seemed just like a real princess...

When Sara Crewe arrives at Miss Minchin's London boarding school, she seems just like a real little princess. She wears beautiful clothes, has gracious manners, and tells the most wonderful stories. Then one day, Sara suddenly becomes penniless. Now she must wear rags, sleep in the school's dreary attic, and work for her living. Sara is all alone, but keeps telling herself that she can still be a princess inside, if only she tries hard enough.

Author Bio

▼▲

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) grew up in England, but she began writing what was to become The Secret Garden in 1909, when she was creating a garden for a new home in Long Island, New York. Frances was a born storyteller. Even as a young child, her greatest pleasure was making up stories and acting them out, using her dolls as characters. She wrote over forty books in her lifetime.

Tasha Tudor's detailed, delicate artwork has been cherished by millions of readers. She illustrated nearly one hundred books, and received multiple awards and honors, including two Caldecott Honors.
